::: a short history of the shoes :::

october 2003:
she and i buy some matching shoes at walmart for $5. i love them. they are wonderful and quickly become my favorites.

march 15, 2005:
"glued up my favoritest shoes today, hoping they will hold out a bit longer. and yesterday, i ducktaped the bottoms, just for i dont know why. i swear, if my shoes decided to die sometime soon, i think i would just completely lose it and there might be no recovery. and im not even kidding."
and i start looking at every walmart i go through to see if maybemaybe they have some more of my shoes [because i got them at walmart for 5 dollars.] no luck.

may 2005:
i decide my shoes have just about had it. i decide to onlyonly wear them when it is absolutely necessary to look hott, or in other extreme emergencies.

june 2005:
have re-applied the duct tape about twice, just to reinforce. also, once i think i did packing tape, cause i couldnt find the ducttape.

july 2005
still looking at walmarts, but have begun to look around for other shoes too, because i have given up hope of finding my exact kind, and i refuse to buy real converses.

august 2005
gave up hope of finding anything similar. decide i will steal brendas; remember that they are too small. look everywhere for some tennis shoes. cant find any that i like, and if i do like them, they probably cost 184793 dollars. i dont buy those kind.

september 16, 2005:
go to target with roommates. find reallyreally similar shoes to my old ones, and for ten dollars. i try them on, i think they fit, i think im happy. i think about it for a minute. i decide to purchase them. i decide i am thrilled. i get home and try them on with socks and jeans to make sure i am really thrilled. and i am.
i have some hotfudgesundae to celebrate.

september 17, 2005:
spend all day walking around in all the cleanish dirt i can find so they dont look like absolutely new shoes. sortof new is ok, absolutely new isnt. muchly hurrah.
except for i had also just found some other shoes that i really liked for 24 dollars, which is alright, but i couldnt decide what color: blue or tan, and so i was waiting, but now i have other shoes, but i still kindof want some blue or tan ones. hrm. maybe thats overexcessive, or overcompensating? maybe i should get them anyway? i dont know.
the quote of the day said: "if the shoe fits, ask for them in a different color, too." so maybe.

***
"can you talk a little louder? i dont think my heart is broken enough.
but someday we'll ill be old and ill be so * beautiful."

mhmm and maybehopefully.

and:
"there is actually a very good chance that i am certifiably crazy."

more about this later.
